I didn't want to maintain similar/identical tables in a legacy FoxPro system and another system with SQL Server back end. Both systems are active, but some tables are shared.
Initially I was going to use a Linked Server to the FoxPro to pull the FP data when needed. This works. But, I've come up with what I believe is a better solution. Keep in mind that these tables are largely static - occassional changes, edits.
I will do a 1 time DTS from FP into SQL Server tables.
I then create INSERT and UPDATE triggers within FoxPro.
These triggers fire a stored procedure in FoxPro that establishes a connection to the SQL Server and fire the appropriate stored procedure on SQL Server to CREATE and/or UPDATE the corresponding table there.
In the end - the tables are local to both apps.
If the UPDATES or TRIGGERS fail I write to an error log - and in that rare case - I can manually fix. I could set it up to email me from within FoxPro as well if needed.
Here's the FoxPro and SQL Server code for reference for the Record Insert:

I'm a rookie with MSSQL. I need to run a DTS package to export a result setto an MX Excel spread sheet. I need to call the DTS from a stored procedureand pass it three values, depending on the input parameters to the storedproc.DTS package is no problem. Pretty easy with the DTS wizard. My problem isthat I can't figure out how to instansiate the DTS package object from astored proc and pass the three values as parameters to the DTS package sothey can populate the parameters I created in it.I found an article related to it, but I'm too much of a rookie to grasp it.It showed how to do this from a stored procedure:EXEC @hr = sp_OASetProperty @oPKG, 'GlobalVariables("MyGVName").Value,'MyGVValue'IF @hr <> 0BEGINPRINT '*** GlobalVariable Assignment Failed'EXEC sp_displayoaerrorinfo @oPKG, @hrENDI have three values and tree global variables to populate. Do I need to dothe above 3 times?How do I instantiate the package object? I've read up some on sp_OACreate,but I don't get it, yet.How do I initiate the variable @oPKG?It contains the name of the sp_OACreate string, right? How do I address aDTS package in the sp_OACreate string?I would really appreciate just writing out the sp_OACreate string and how Ipass values for three existing global variables to a DTS package named"DTS_1".I'm under some real pressure to get this done.Thanks for any help I can get.Gunny
Hi allI am implementing a stored procedure which needs to recursively callitself until specific condition is reached, Could anyone give someadvice about that?Thanks a lotRobert Song
Hi all, I've been struggling with this one for a while, but am still doing something wrong: I have three tables which need to be updated. I have a stored proc which accomplishes the first writes the data in for the first 2 tables. The last table is a one to many, so needs a seperate stored proc which will be called multiple times depending on the number of items in the order. My only question I am trying to get to here is: How do I get the first stored proc to return me the primary key value from the 1st insert (NOT the second)? I've tried a few different methods: the current one shown below returns me "2", as in the number of inserts performed. Dim InsertCmd As New SqlCommand("WriteOrder", oSQLConn) InsertCmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CartTotal", Session("CartTotal")) InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CARDFNAME", BillingInfo("CARDFNAME")) InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CARDLNAME", BillingInfo("CARDLNAME")) ... InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CONTACTEMAIL", BillingInfo("CONTACTEMAIL")) InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@COMPANYMATCH", 0) InsertCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RECNUM", 0) Response.Write("---" & InsertCmd.ExecuteNonQuery().ToString() & "---")
I've also tried returning parameters like this, with no luck: InsertCmd.Parameters(32).SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Int InsertCmd.Parameters(32).Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue Response.Write("---" & InsertCmd.Parameters(32).Value() & "---")Any help is greatly appreciated!
I'm new to 7.0 and to DTS, and I find it all very confusing and need some help. :)
1) I need to automatically import data from a text file on a daily basis. Can someone tell me in short, simple steps how to set this up?
2) I need to export certain data into a new Excel sheet. Can this be triggered from a stored procedure, by calling some function? If yes, is it possible to send parameters to this function?

I'm just wondering what people think of these two design methods for calling sql stored procedures from an asp.net web app.
When returning data. 1. Having one call to the database (a stored procedure) that returns many recordsets (datatables) for each item on the form / page
vs.
2. Creating DAL objects for each action (many calls to stored procedures for each form /page.
Is there anyone with experience with #1 that can tell me if it was a good idea or not.
My database admin is strongly against the application making any more then one stored procedure call per page request. I would argue that the time saved execution wise isn't significant enough. The other problem with #1 is that business logic become part of the stored procedure and that can make your application less modular.
I have a stored proc which should be returning a datatable. When I execute it manually it returns all requested results. However, when I call it via code (C#) it is returning a null table which leads me to believe the problem is in my code. I'm not getting any errors during runtime. Any help at all would be a BIG help! private void PopulateControls() { DataTable table = CartAccess.getCart(); } public static DataTable getCart() { DbCommand comm = GenericDataAccess.CreateCommand(); comm.CommandText = "sp_cartGetCart"; DbParameter param = comm.CreateParameter(); param.ParameterName = "@CartID"; param.Value = cartID; param.DbType = DbType.String; param.Size = 36; comm.Parameters.Add(param); DataTable table = (GenericDataAccess.ExecuteSelectCommand(comm)); return table; } public static DataTable ExecuteSelectCommand(DbCommand command) { // The DataTable to be returned DataTable table; // Execute the command making sure the connection gets closed in the end try { // Open the data connection command.Connection.Open(); // Execute the command and save the results in a DataTable DbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader(); table = new DataTable(); table.Load(reader); // Close the reader reader.Close(); } catch (Exception ex) { Utilities.SendErrorLogEmail(ex); throw ex; } finally { // Close the connection command.Connection.Close(); } return table; }
I have a stored proc that inserts into a table variable (@ReturnTable) and then ends with "select * from @ReturnTable."
It executes as expected in Query Analyzer but when I call it from an ADO connection the recordset returned is closed. All the documentation that I have found suggests that table variables can be used this way. Am I doing somthing wrong?
I am trying to call a CF web page/web service from a SQL 2005 stored proc and getting proxy info cannot be created. I cannot use stored proc 2005 CLR assembly because it will help us in creating only .asmx proxy not CFC proxy , any help would be appreciated.
Msg 15153, Level 16, State 1, Procedure xp_cmdshell, Line 1 The xp_cmdshell proxy account information cannot be retrieved or is invalid. Verify that the '##xp_cmdshell_proxy_account##' credential exists and contains valid information.
I have dw schema in the database, owned by user dw.The login name is dw. The login had db_owner right in the database. The default schema for the login on the database is dw.Now Once I assign 'sysadmin' serverrole to dw login, I started seeing stored proc not found error, if try to execute stored proc without mentioning dw.spname;Also I am seeing table not found error while quering tables under dw schema, after the change.
I need to write a storedproc that receives the name of a table (as a string) and inside the stored proc uses select count(*) from <tablename>. The problem is the passed in tablename is a string so it can't be used in the select statement. Any ideas how I can do what I want?
what pro's cons would there be to having a linked server run a local stored proc against another sql server or create that stored proc on that other sql server and call it from there in the c# code. i would think that calling the stored proc would be more efficient that running a linked server - but please let me know your thoughts. I'm not sure i can have permission to add a stored proc on that server, so possibly the linked server is the only solution - but if i can put a stored proc on that server should i? thanks. Jeff
I have a situation where I need to call a stored procedure once per each row of table (with some of the columns of each row was its parameters). I was wondering how I can do this without having to use cursors.
Here are my simulated procs...
Main Stored Procedure: This will be called once per each row of some table.
-- All this proc does is, prints out the list of parameters that are passed to it.
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MyMainStoredProc ( @IDINT, @NameVARCHAR (200), @SessionIDINT ) AS BEGIN
[Code] ....
Here is a sample call to the out proc...
EXEC dbo.MyOuterStoredProc @SessionID = 123
In my code above for "MyOuterStoredProc", I managed to avoid using cursors and was able to frame a string that contains myltiple EXEC statements. At the end of the proc, I am using sp_executesql to run this string (of multipl sp calls). However, it has a limitation in terms of string length for NVARCHAR. Besides, I am not very sure if this is an efficient way...just managed to hack something to make it work.
I am trying to use SSIS to update an AS400 DB2 database by calling a stored procedure on the AS400 using an OLE DB command object. I have a select statement running against the SQL Server 2005 that brings back 20 values, all of which are character strings, and the output of this select is piped into the OLE DB command object. The call from SSIS works just fine to pass parameters into the AS400 as long as the stored procedure being called does not have an output parameter defined in its signature. There is no way that I can find to tell the OLE DB command object that one of the parameters is an output (or even an input / output) parameter. As soon as one of the parameters is changed to an output type, I get an error like this:

Using the MSSQL JDBC 1.2 driver (Oct 2007 release), we don't seem to be able to call stored procedures which internally uses app_name() function to fill into database tables .
This driver fails to access such stored procedures in both SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 databases. The previous 1.1 driver (2006), suceeds in both cases.
Here is a test case which demonstrates this problem.
CONSTRAINT SimpleTestConstraint CHECK((len(ltrim([PrimaryIdentifier])) > 0 and len(ltrim([ServiceProvider])) > 0 and len(ltrim([SecondaryID])) > 0 and len(ltrim([PanoramaObject])) > 0 and [salary] <> 0.0))) Stored procedure id defined as follows:
I am working with a large application and am trying to track down a bug. I believe an error that occurs in the stored procedure isbubbling back up to the application and is causing the application not to run. Don't ask why, but we do not have some of the sourcecode that was used to build the application, so I am not able to trace into the code. So basically I want to examine the stored procedure. If I run the stored procedure through Query Analyzer, I get the following error message: Msg 2758, Level 16, State 1, Procedure GetPortalSettings, Line 74RAISERROR could not locate entry for error 60002 in sysmessages. (1 row(s) affected) (1 row(s) affected) I don't know if the error message is sufficient enough to cause the application from not running? Does anyone know? If the RAISERROR occursmdiway through the stored procedure, does the stored procedure terminate execution? Also, Is there a way to trace into a stored procedure through Query Analyzer? -------------------------------------------As a side note, below is a small portion of my stored proc where the error is being raised: SELECT @PortalPermissionValue = isnull(max(PermissionValue),0)FROM Permission, PermissionType, #GroupsWHERE Permission.ResourceId = @PortalIdAND Permission.PartyId = #Groups.PartyIdAND Permission.PermissionTypeId = PermissionType.PermissionTypeId IF @PortalPermissionValue = 0BEGIN RAISERROR (60002, 16, 1) return -3END
I am having trouble executing a stored procedure on a remote server. On my local server, I have a linked server setup as follows: Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563
This works fine on my local server:
Select * From [Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563].DatabaseName.dbo.TableName
This does not work (Attempting to execute a remote stored proc named 'Data_Add':
When I attempt to run the above, I get the following error: Could not locate entry in sysdatabases for database 'Server1.abcd.myserver.comSQLServer2005,1563'. No entry found with that name. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
Could anyone shed some light on what I need to do to get this to work?
I want to know the differences between SQL Server 2000 storedprocedures and oracle stored procedures? Do they have differentsyntax? The concept should be the same that the stored proceduresexecute in the database server with better performance?Please advise good references for Oracle stored procedures also.thanks!!
I am calling a stored procedure (say X) and from that stored procedure (i mean X) i want to call another stored procedure (say Y)asynchoronoulsy. Once stored procedure X is completed then i want to return execution to main program. In background, Stored procedure Y will contiue his work. Please let me know how to do that using SQL Server 2000 and ASP.NET 2.
This Might be a really simple thing, however we have just installed SQL server 2005 on a new server, and are having difficulties with the set up of the Store Procedures. Every time we try to modify an existing stored procedure it attempts to save it as an SQL file, unlike in 2000 where it saved it as part of the database itself.
How do I search for and print all stored procedure names in a particular database? I can use the following query to search and print out all table names in a database. I just need to figure out how to modify the code below to search for stored procedure names. Can anyone help me out? SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA + '.' + TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
Hi Peeps I have a SP that returns xml I have writen another stored proc in which I want to do something like this:Select FieldOne, FieldTwo, ( exec sp_that_returns_xml ( @a, @b) ), FieldThree from TableName But it seems that I cant call the proc from within a select. I have also tried declare @v xml set @v = exec sp_that_returns_xml ( @a, @b) But this again doesn't work I have tried changing the statements syntax i.e. brackets and no brackets etc..., The only way Ive got it to work is to create a temp table, insert the result from the xml proc into it and then set @v as a select from the temp table - Which to be frank is god awful way to do it. Any and all help appreciated. Kal
Hi all - I'm trying to optimized my stored procedures to be a bit easier to maintain, and am sure this is possible, not am very unclear on the syntax to doing this correctly. For example, I have a simple stored procedure that takes a string as a parameter, and returns its resolved index that corresponds to a record in my database. ie exec dbo.DeriveStatusID 'Created' returns an int value as 1 (performed by "SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName= 'Created') but I also have a second stored procedure that needs to make reference to this procedure first, in order to resolve an id - ie: exec dbo.AddProduct_Insert 'widget1' which currently performs:SET @statusID = (SELECT statusID FROM statusList WHERE statusName='Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID) I want to simply the insert to perform (in one sproc): SET @statusID = EXEC deriveStatusID ('Created')INSERT INTO Products (productname, statusID) VALUES (''widget1', @statusID) This works fine if I call this stored procedure in code first, then pass it to the second stored procedure, but NOT if it is reference in the second stored procedure directly (I end up with an empty value for @statusID in this example). My actual "Insert" stored procedures are far more complicated, but I am working towards lightening the business logic in my application ( it shouldn't have to pre-vet the data prior to executing a valid insert). Hopefully this makes some sense - it doesn't seem right to me that this is impossible, and am fairly sure I'm just missing some simple syntax - can anyone assist?
